fulton, or millers fallsor both

I bought a hand plane for 10 bucks. has a millers falls logo with red paint around the letters on the cap (the piece that holds the iron and chip break ?) but on the left cheek it says fulton no. 5260. I assume the parts are interchangeable. Grandpa was a Stanley man so I don’t know much about the others, it works great all I did was sharpen the iron and clean it up. I know sears contracted with mf and others, does anyone know if it came this way or were some parts swaped around. Sorry no pics.

Millers Falls usually stamped a plane’s model number into the side of the plane.

IF the lateral lever has a single “tab” bent down where the thumb can adjust it, that would be a M-F MADE plane

When Millers Falls made planes for other sellers ( like Sears/Fulton, etc) they used a plain lever cap, reserving the more fancy one for their own brand of planes.

Note the rear handle (“tote”)...Millers Falls made ones were more angular, without a lot of curves.

Under the front knob, the front end of the plane slopes up towards the base of the knob, and forms a ring. Stanley and Sargent made planes were flat, with Stanley adding a ring around the knob, otherwise it was flat.

Could be a M-F made plane, that someone added a fancy levercap to it.

BTW: The iron may have a number on it, that begins with a 107.5260…..Sears used a 107 code for things made by Millers Falls that they sold.
